18．The man known as the French"Spiderman"climbed The New York Times building on Thursday to draw attention to global warming，and six hours later another climber made the same climb．
Alain Robert，45，the first person to climb the 52-story skyscraper，told reporters ahead of the climb on the UN World Environment Day his aim was to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time．
His manager Julie Cohen said she knew nothing about the second climber．
She added that Robert's climbs were without risk and he was a professional climber．
Robert climbed without equipment except for climbing shoes．He was greeted at the top by the police who arrested him．
The second climber was also immediately arrested at the top by police．His climb at the height of the evening rush hour drew crowds and was shown live on at least one TV station．
Several people in the crowd shouted"jump"when he stopped part of the way to rest，but there was a loud cheer as he reached the top．Wearing red pants，black climbing shoes and a white T-shirt that read"Malaria（疟疾） No More"，the man laughed as he was led away by the police from the building．
"We don't look at him as a modern Spiderman，"said James Coil，a member of the police emergency services unit．"We look at him as somebody who not only puts his life at risk but is one of members of the public as well．"

17．So long as teachers fail to tell teaching from learning，they will continue to undertake to do for children what children can do for themselves．Teaching children to read is not simply passing reading on to them．Certainly we shouldn't have spent endless hours in activities about reading．Douglas insists that"reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible．"
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes．They differ in kind and function．The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient（效率高的） system for teaching themselves to read．Teaching is also public activity．It can be seen and observed．
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language．Almost all of it is private，for learning is an occupation of the mind，and that process is not open to public scrutiny．
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable，what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge？Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions．"Make learning to read easy，which means making reading a meaningful，enjoyable and frequent experience for children．"
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are，and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately，then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated（消除）．Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading．Practice makes perfect，you know．

16．When I opened my e-mail the other day，a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking warmly．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me．She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother．It was very cool and lovely．
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown（小丑）．The software，which is free，can be downloaded at www．facemail．com．Facemail faces are lifelike，and they simulate（模仿）emotions based on emotions that you put in your text．
The company that develops the Facemail，is sure there will be broad uses in many fields．The reason why e-business is not popular，the company says，is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name，waited on you and personally closed the sale？And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can't be home when the kids get back from school，she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat．
Facemail could get hot fast．Personally，I'm a fan．Facemail is lively and funny at first，but if you select the clown，put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions，you've got a crazy mail．

15．One winter evening，a storekeeper was going to close up  his shop．Suddenly he saw Seth，a lazy，good-for-nothing fellow grasp a pound of fresh butter and hid it in his hat．No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge（报复）．He would punish the thief，and satisfy his own appetite for fun．

Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man's hat．The fun-loving grocer kept on putting wood into the stove．Then，as if surprised，he remarked，"You seem to be sweating as if you were warm!Let me put your hat away for you．"
"No!"exclaimed poor Seth at last，unable to stand it a moment longer．"No，I must go； let me out．"A greasy （油腻的） waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man's face and neck，dipping into his clothes，and trickling down his body into his boots．He was bathed in oil from head to toe．Just as Seth rushed out of the door，the grocer said，"I believe the fun I've had out of you is worth the money，so I shan't charge you for that pound of butter in your hat．"

Here's a scene：a village where the sun always shines，crops always grow and your friends drop by to sweep your yard to the sound of guitar music．Animals do what they are told，there is no disease，and lendin'folks a helpin'hand makes you richer and wiser．Welcome to FarmVille-Current population 69m and rising fast．
"It reminds me of my childhood，"says one player，Lia Curran，37，a nurse from London．"Right now I'm growing wheat and flowers．I've got a small garden，and I'm raising some chickens and some cows．I like having the animals．It's relaxing．"Curran's animals，however，is nothing more than a collection of cartoons．FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as"addictive"．Launched last June by Zynga Game Network，FarmVille now has many players-more than the population of the UK．The players are largely women over the age of 35．
FarmVille unites the worlds of social networking and gaming．Players are given a ground with six fields，"cash"，a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth，skills and neighbors to create bigger，better，richer farms．Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get flee gifts；you rise rapidly through the first levels but，once hooked，have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight．
"Games like this draw people into a fantasy world that's separate from real life where there are no issues，and where things are simple and controllable，"Brian Dudley says．In November，he opened the UK's first computer games addiction clinic，treating online gamers who stayed at the keyboard for up to eight hours a day-"the tip of the iceberg"，he says．Two weeks ago，a group of US players launched a class action against Zynga and Facebook．"Most，if not all，of the online advertisements presented through Zynga are scams（骗局），"the lawsuit states．"The advertisements are highly misleading and often result in users ordering goods or services that they do not want or need．"
According to Nick O'neill from the social media site All Facebook，Zynga is making﹩500，000（￡304，000）a day，from its Facebook games，in turn spending some﹩50m（￡30m）a year on Facebook ads．
If all that weren't enough，FarmVille doesn't even function like a proper farm：in FarmVille，wheat grows in two days-in real life，it takes months．But play continues nevertheless．
